Notes from the Resistance
FAFO. [More]
However, the prosecutor said the shooting was not justified because Colie shot someone who was unarmed inside a mall. The judge denied the bond request and believed Colie was a danger to the public.
And the harasser got within six inches? I may have reacted physically, too, and we know what a well-placed fist can do.
I don’t think it’s out of line to wonder what the prosecutor and judge would have done had this moron’s shooter been an “Only One.”

A New York City parking garage attendant was hit with an attempted murder charge after confronting an armed thief and wrestling the gun away before opening fire on the suspect. Moussa Diarra, 57, is also charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the incident that occurred at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning. [More]
This is what the prohibitionists would have us all reduced to.
With “legally-recognized” criminal possession exceptions, of course.
Funny, how often the racist inequities of that turn up.
UPDATE
DA Alvin Bragg will not prosecute NYC garage worker who shot armed thief [More]
Yeah, now that there are eyes on this and he fears it may affect public sympathies for him in his quest to make a national name for himself in the political persecution of Orange Man.
Why was the poor guy charged in the first damn place?

There’s a lesson to be learned here the suicide cultists are doing their damnedest to redirect, obscure, and disparage.

Arizona Family Dollar employee charged with murder after firing 10 shots at shoplifter who punched him – Arizona police say the Family Dollar employee acknowledged the shooting was ‘egregious’ [More]
Well, by talking to the police he’s effectively sabotaged his own defense that fists are deadly weapons, and that, combined with sudden and unfamiliar incident stress and fear, triggered his response — just like can happen with professionally trained Only Ones.

Detroit armed robber shot in chest by concealed carry permit holder after threatening to kill friend: police – The alleged robber, Joshua Fordham, is a convicted felon not legally allowed to carry a gun [More]
No worries. Gretchen Whitmer and the Democrats, abetted by “No right to work” union Fudds, are working nonstop to enact unchallengeable criminal supremacy.
The decedent was identified as Jeffery Gunter, W/M, of Point Blank, Texas. [More]

Ohioans in danger may soon be able to text 911 [More]
I guess, but the same problems of police being minutes away when seconds count and having no duty to protect will still apply. Plus, by the time most victims enter a PIN, pull up the text app and try to type out an intelligible message with shaking thumbs, the danger may be passed — for the attacker, who may be happy for the free phone.
Besides, I never did much subscribe to the “Only Ones” being the only ones, and plan on having my hands full.
Maybe if co-sponsor State Rep. Kent Smith spent less time abetting the undermining of his constituents’ rights and more time protecting and advancing them, the need for such calls would fall dramatically.
The store owner was subsequently shot in the back by one of the suspects but managed to return fire with two of his legally-owned firearms. The store owner was able to strike one of the suspects multiple times, while the other suspect reportedly fled during the first struggle during the incident… [More]
Every f*****g liar who calls citizen disarmament “commonsense gun safety” would rather the store owner had been unarmed and killed so they could have more blood to dance in. And speaking of f*****g liars, check out the accompanying video.
Of course they’re talking about taking your guns — and doing more than talking whenever they can get away with it.

Potentially lethal force may require defensive deadly force by Miguel A. Faria, MD [More]
Now is a good time to reacquaint ourselves with this 2016 classic from a medical expert who is also a champion of freedom.
This is kind of a side note that goes way off track, but all this information about cerebral contusions and subdural hematomas brings up an observation I had just last night while treating myself to reruns of Maverick on Tubi. He got knocked out twice in one episode with a gun butt, a trope that came up time and again on TV shows of the period, and that I recall was a pretty consistent plot device on this show in particular. That the “heroes” weren’t routinely killed or at least permanently disabled or vegetative tells us a bit about taking what we get from Hollywood seriously. Especially when they’re doing undisclosed bidding.
It also suggests where Rob may have gotten his “shoot-to-wound” nonsense from, and that brings me back full circle.
I’ll listen to a real expert.

Chicago Police wanted murder charges to be filed after a felon illegally carrying a gun shot a man repeatedly, killing him. Not only did Juan Ferba, 26, fire at least 14 rounds, striking Kristopher Willett a number of times — including three times in the head — but Ferba also hit a woman on a CTA bus with an errant round. However, Cook County’s Soros-funded State’s Attorney Kim Foxx looked at the case and pronounced it…self-defense. [More]
And he’s out.

But wait a sec– we’ve been told gun owners are bloodthirsty white supremacists just waiting for someone to blast away and that those of us who haven’t killed anyone just aren’t murderers yet. So what’s this guy doing actually deterring violence?

At first, he thought it was his uncle, but when he looked out the window, he saw a strange man coming towards his house. The teen who grew up hunting and taking safety training courses went right for his mother’s 9mm gun. [More]
Assuming the story happened as retold, what could the outcome have been had she followed the advice of all the “experts” — or obeyed “the law” where so mandated — and kept it locked up and separated from its ammunition?
UPDATE
And leave it to CNN to lead the charge.

I’ve had my own questions about the shoot, but there’s one indisputable truth you just can’t get around: If you don’t want someone to shoot you in self-defense, don’t try to rob them at gunpoint, fake or otherwise.
